Novak Djokovic set up a mouth-watering quarter-final against Carlos Alcaraz at the Australian Open with a convincing victory over Jiri Lehecka.<\/b><\/p>\n

Djokovic continued his bid for a record 25th Grand Slam title with a 6-3 6-4 7-6 (7-4) win against the Czech 24th seed.<\/p>\n

He will face Alcaraz in the last eight after the Spaniard progressed when British number one Jack Draper retired with a hip injury<\/a> earlier on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz beat Djokovic in the past two Wimbledon finals, but the Serb got the better of the 21-year-old to win gold at the Paris Olympics last summer – Djokovic’s self-proclaimed “biggest sporting achievement”. <\/p>\n

Djokovic was booed by the crowd as Lehecka threatened to force a fourth set, and the 11-time Australian Open champion was quick to leave Rod Laver Arena after his victory.<\/p>\n

“Thank you very much for being here tonight, I appreciate your support and I will see you in the next round,” was all the 37-year-old said as he swerved the usual on-court interview.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
